Help the user set and hit realistic project timelines using approaches from 13 product leaders.
Treat real deadlines as P0 - nothing else matters Nan Yu: "The only way to make deadlines real is to take them so seriously that they are basically like a P0 problem, and everything else has to not matter in comparison." Don't have too many deadlines. Reserve them for critical external events and protect the team from all other distractions once set.
Annie Pearl: "We've moved to committing to dates that are within our control. We can commit to a discovery effort... versus making a commitment around a project six months out when we haven't done enough discovery." Break work into Discovery, Solutioning, Build, and Launch. Only provide engineering delivery dates once solutioning is complete.
